Explanation of Open Access Waivers and Discounts for LARR
The Latin American Research Review (LARR), leading interdisciplinary scholarly journal on Latin America published by Cambridge University Press (CUP), has funding options for everyone. Therefore, no author who has an article accepted/published in LARR should have to pay a fee.
We invite you to explore the open access funding options available and encourage you not to be dissuaded from submitting your work because of financial reasons.
OPEN ACCESS FUNDING OPTIONS
These are the most frequent funding scenarios for LARR authors:
Publishing Agreement with CUP
The author is affiliated with an institution with which Cambridge University Press has an open-access publishing agreement; in this instance, Cambridge liaises directly with the university to secure funding. Institutions with agreements can be found here.
Cambridge Open Equity Initiative or Research4Life
The author is from a low or middle-income country which qualifies them for a partial or full discount of the fee through Cambridge Open Equity Initiative or Research4Life.
Full Waiver Request
The author who does not have coverage through an open access agreement, an equity initiative, or outside funding earmarked for open access publication to pay an article processing charge (APC), can request a full waiver of an APC by filling out a waiver request form. Waivers are granted to all authors who solicit them.
Outside Funding
The author has outside funding earmarked for open access publication and pays the fees.
If you have any questions regarding the process of submitting your article for publication to LARR, please contact the LARR Publications Coordinator, Erin Gray larr@pitt.edu.
